Overview

“Peaceful, relaxing, restful, spiritual, wonderful....” these are some of the ways our guests have described their experience of staying at our new Balinese inspired guest suites. Please come enjoy the relaxed rural setting of our two bedroom, two bath cottage (rented as one unit), located south central on the island of Kauai. We are minutes away from the many beautiful beaches Kauai has to offer. We are 1000 feet above sea level, that offers cooler temperatures especially welcomed when time to retire for the evening. The beautiful warm tropical woods, the unique reed matting on the ceilings, coved lighting, granite counters and many other custom detailed architectural touches make the suites at Puulima Road a magical place to spend your Kauai vacation. The two separate entrance suites are ideally suited for two friends or couples who are traveling together or a small family. Reservations will not be taken until two (2) months prior to reservation date.

About Thayne or Lynn Taylor

Why Thayne or Lynn Taylor chose Kalaheo

First it is in Kalaheo, second it is up in the mountains which is a lot cooler than beach side.

My husband, two children and self very recently stayed at this property during our visit to the island. The property is striking in it's carefully designed guest house, a beautiful extension of the owner's own home. The architecture will really put you in a Bali mindset! The grounds are lovely and the sheep charming - our children really loved to see them. The night sky is breathtaking. It's impossible not to feel peaceful here. This was a prefect place to return to each night after a day at the beach. The privacy and quietness is exactly what you look for in a vacation. Thank you so much for sharing a part of your home with us, Lynn and Thayne!

This lovely little property was ideal for us (2 sisters) as we could each have our own space as well as breeze in and out of the others' room. Lovely design and decor as well as a great bathroom made the spaces a good place to come back to after a day at the beach or hiking.

We loved being in Kalaheo with it's 'real' people and great local coffee shop.

Thayne and Lynn were welcoming and respectful of our privacy.

We stayed at Kauai Garden Cottages for five nights in July 2013 and had a wonderful stay.

The place is truly unique. The rental cottage is a stand-alone house, split into two parts. Both parts, which you rent together, have a bedroom and a bathroom and have their own entrances. One side is bit larger than the other and has a sitting area. The owner's home is next door, connected by a covered walkway, but is completely separate from the rental cottage.

The unique layout of the cottages was perfect for our group. We were a group of four--a married couple in one room, and two friends in the other room. There was a futon that we set up in the room with the friends so they didn't have to share a queen bed. The two rooms share a common deck, but had privacy in both rooms.

The cottage was built with an incredible attention to detail. The photos on VRBO's website (which are nice and professional) very accurately show what the place looks like. Beautiful hardwoods, interesting architecture, very high ceilings, fine craftsmanship, tropical vibe, interesting Balinese style. The cottages were spotlessly clean. Everything worked. The furniture was nothing fancy, but we didn't expect more at this price.

The setting of the cottages is up in the hills, about a 5 minute drive up the from the highway. The property is both open and has a tropical jungle feel. I'm not sure how far the road goes up into the hills past the cottages, but the property is well past the ordinary residential area near the highway and is in a more pretty rural setting. As is the case in this part of Kauai, the weather seems to change every hour or so. Sun, then rain, then sun, then some wind. It was always a pleasant temperature there.

The hosts, Thayne and Lynn, were welcoming and friendly. They took care of a couple of special requests that we made in advance and otherwise left us to ourselves during our stay (in a good way). I'm sure they would have responded to any issues we might have had, but we had none.

The interesting layout of the place (two separate rooms, rented together) and the location in the hills might not be for everyone, but it was a perfect launching point for us and a great place to spend our mornings and evenings. I'd highly recommend this place to a group of 3 or 4 close friends traveling together, 2 couples traveling together, or a family with kids (parents in one room, kids in another).

My Wife & I found this listing early on during our search for a place to stay in Kauai. As our search progressed, we kept coming back to this listing. We were skeptical this might be a "to good to be true" situation. We are so glad we booked with Thayne and his Wife. Their place is amazing. If you are looking for a secluded, off the beaten path, relaxing place to energize after long days of site-seeing and the beach then this is the perfect place. My Wife and I found the cottage to be perfect for our needs. We loved the architecture and landscaping. We found personal touches, such as beach chairs, cooler, ample beach towels and even a beach blanket as an added benefit to the beautiful setting. If you want to forego the busy major resort atmosphere, then this is the place for you. We would recommend this to any couple wanting to spend some quality time together. Highly recommend

A charming place to stay away from the high prices of the beach resorts. Near the quaint town of Kalaheo. Cool breeze felt fabulous after days at the beach. A fabulous and affordable way to experience Kauai.

Paradise Home away from home!

The convenience of our Kalaheo location is that you benefit from the seclusion of our 2 acre parcel with a stream at the bottom of the property, yet are close enough to be 5 minutes from some great local restaurants and 15 minutes to some of Kauai's most famous South Shore beaches. Thirty minutes to the Lihue airport and about 30 minutes to Waimea Canyon, you will find the Puulima Guest Suites are a good South Shore location to call your home base on Kauai. Please note - we will not take any reservations until two (2) months prior to the reservation date.
